Noise Pop Festival 2026 Presents: Hugo de la Lune — Dubbed the African Dracula, Hugo de la Lune is an Ethiopian American vocalist and composer whose work merges soul, psychedelia, and indie R&B into a sound that feels both ancient and otherworldly. His music carries the pulse of ritual and the tension of transformation, moving through themes of desire, divinity, and rebirth with haunting precision. Each performance evokes a cinematic intensity that is as vulnerable as it is commanding. Hugo has shared stages with Justin Nozuka, NASAYA, MARO, and Paris Alexa, and has performed at acclaimed venues such as Great American Music Hall, The Independent, The Lost Church, and The Ivy Room. His sound has traveled across borders, from intimate sets in Madrid to a national tour across the United States in the summer of 2025.
